I didn't say Sony was the lesser of two whores, read the statement again. I said YOU are suggesting it.
Fact is, if Nintendo is a whore for franchising their IP's, so too is Sony. What you are trying to do is mitigate the severity of how much a whore Sony is. That's like saying Hooker A has 10 johns per day while Hooker B has only 8 johns per day.
You're suggesting it's OK to be Hooker B but Hooker A is such a whore.
EDIT: You can add Siren to the list of Sony IP's getting reused. This time, not even a sequel but a remake.
| Is that the best you can come up with? Sorry the fact is sony don't rehash their games as much as nintendo do and the've been releasing more original ip's for a very long time as well. | You keep posting as though I don't know and acknowledge this. Why is that?
My point was not to suggest that they are 1:1 with franchise releases but that they both, just as every other major publisher on the planet, continues to release new iterations of their popular and profitable franchises.
The fact is we get 1 sometimes 2 (if we're lucky) titles from a franchise per generation while Sony is reelasing at times many more than that. The difference being that nintendo has had twice as many consoles to spread those out on and in the process attain a higher total per franchise.
How many Mario, Smash, Mario Kart and Zelda titles did we get on GC? 6.
How many Jak, Sly, Socom and Ratchet titles did we get on PS2? 16.
| I state the facts, if you acknowledge them then you should stop posting, if you continue to argue then you are not acknowledging the facts. Lol and of those 4 games you listed for each console how many of those nintendo ip's are new, the answer is zero, and how many of those ip's were new for sony last gen ALL OF THEM. How many of those nintendo franchises do nintendo still whore out, the answer is ALL OF THEM. How many do sony still whore out, the answer is 3 out of 4 with no plans to make another sly game. How many of those 4 nintendo games already have a sequel released this generation, the answer is ALL OF THEM. How many have sony released a sequel to from those games, the answer is 2. Sorry you have no leg to stand on. |
This is hilarious. Let's start with a simple question. How many consoles (non-portable) had Nintendo released before the Gamecube? Three. How many had Sony released before the PS2? One. Gee, I wonder who is more likely to have preexisting IPs running around to exploit?
Second: Oh wow, so if a new IP comes out to great success it's A-OK to put it out to gangbang for crack money as long as you get the lead out and do it on the same console the series premiered on? But once the next console is out it's a deadly sin? I guess that mentality might explain the number of games Viper says those series got on the PS2.
Third: Nintendo takes great care of their IPs; Zelda, Mario, etc. have been there from the very beginning. If they were shoveling the same shit out the door year after year do you honestly think those games would still meet with the success that they do? SMG WAS rated 2nd highest of all time you know, and the sales aren't shabby either. What I'm trying to say here is that it's not some kind of horrible thing to cultivate a good franchise; it's only
overexploitation (from a gamer's perspective) when they do it to the point that quality suffers. The fact that Sony's trail is littered with the corpses of so many formerly great series is now a
good thing in your eyes? (And they've only been in the biz for half as long as Nintendo!)
